After Bitcoin steadily surpasses 80k, many people's first reaction is: It's time to short.

The reasoning is also very uniform—"I'm not greedy, just aiming for a 1-2% pullback."
But my current thought is very simple: in this kind of market, I prefer to buy the dip and go long, rather than short.
Because this isn't a market driven solely by big players pushing it up; it's truly driven by sentiment, capital, and expectations moving together.
Once a trend is formed, it's actually very difficult to reverse it in a short period.
Many people always think pullbacks are easy to catch, but the problem is: when it really drops, do you dare to go all-in on a short?
If you miss the move, can you stay calm?
If you're caught in a false rally, are you really willing to cut losses?
Most people end up not making money but getting hit from both sides.
In trending markets, the biggest taboo is constantly trying to guess the top.
You think you're catching a pullback, but in reality, many times you're just using profits to bet on sentiment.
So now I prefer to do something simpler: wait for a dip, buy low, and follow the trend.
Even if I only get part of the move, it's more comfortable than going against the trend to chase a few points.
I've been holding my main long position for two days now; it hasn't risen very fast, but at least I feel at ease holding it.
